METHODS

All the pick methods can be called with these options:

-initialdir

Directory to load on pop.

-initialfile

Suggested file name.

The pick methods always return their results in list context. So even when you expect only one result you have to do:

            

              
              
my ($file) = $fp->pickWhatEver(%options);
            
          

pick(%options)

The basic pick method. Besides the two options above you can give it many of the options of Tk::FilePicker and Tk::FileBrowser.

pickFileOpen(%options)

Calls pick configured to select one file for opening. Equivalent to:

            

              
              
my ($file) = $window->pick(
   -checkoverwrite => 0,
   -showfolders => 1,
   -showfiles => 1,
   -selectmode => 'single',
   -selectstring => 'Open',
   -title => 'Open file',
);
            
          

pickFileOpenMulti(%options)

Calls pick configured to select multiple files for opening. Equivalent to:

            

              
              
my @files = $window->pick(
   -checkoverwrite => 0,
   -showfolders => 1,
   -showfiles => 1,
   -selectmode => 'extended',
   -selectstring => 'Open',
   -title => 'Open file',
);
            
          

pickFileSave(%options)

Calls pick configured to select one file for saving. Pops a dialog for overwrite if the selected file exists. Equivalent to:

            

              
              
my ($file) = $window->pick(
   -checkoverwrite => 1,
   -showfolders => 1,
   -showfiles => 1,
   -selectmode => 'single',
   -selectstring => 'Save',
   -title => 'Save file',
);
            
          

pickFolderSelect(%options)

Calls pick configured to select one folder. Equivalent to:
